Driving down for a few days climbing in The Peak today and thought in the evening I'd try and get a night shot of the lights of Sheffield from high up, you know the kind of image you see in the films where some teenagers are parked up above some city in USA and the whole city is lit up bellow them. Can anyone recommend a good vantage point to get such a shot. We will be camping ne'er Heathersage so any ware in The Peak around there would do.

In reply to Russell Lovett:

From the Burbage North car park, take the road into Sheffield, and as you go over the top you should find a lay by where you can hop over onto the moor and get a panorama of the city.

In reply to paul_in_cumbria:

Cheer Paul will try there.

In reply to paul_in_cumbria:

Do you stay straight on that road or turnleft at the pub for the best views?

In reply to Russell Lovett:

If you want a less long-range shot you might also want to consider the top of Meersbrook Park.

In reply to Russell Lovett:

Both are good. The view from the large layby itself isn't bad, but it's a little better if you venture a little way along the path that goes over the moor towards a farm, past some small disused quarries. (It's a bit boggy in places.)

Alternatively you get a very similar view from the roadside here: http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=428365&y=384335&z=120&sv=42836...

No good to you at all, but there's a very nice view of the distant city from Back Tor (the one on Derwent Edge, not the one between Mam Tor & Lose Hill).
